Im In Me Mums Car
Ok noob question coming up, I have two sticks of 4GB Corsair ram (not sure of the actual model, any way to check without opening/removing them from PC?) ...

Anyways, when I run CPU-Z it says that my DRAM frequency is 799.9Mhz although Im sure it was 1600Mhz DDR3 that I purchased. Is this just because there is 2 sticks and it is effectively halving the speed?

I was considering adding 2 more 4GB sticks to give me 16GB total. Any negative consequences of this?
